CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Andrew Jackson was a very effective leader. He was able to accomplish lots of initiatives and often in the face of huge opposition. However, many of them seem to be made with a lack of human empathy. It is important to remember as we seek our goals that everyone we encounter are also children of God and deserve our respect and love.
